This report describes a particular experience with Kava (Piper methysticum) and Cannabis during my experimentation with Kava.

Mindset - Curious, calm, slightly irritable and anxious.

Preparation included full respect and patience towards the making of the Polynesia Kava beverage. Absolutely no psychoactives used prior. 5 tablespoons was added to lukewarm water mixed with lecithin granules (about 2 teaspoons) and let sit for about an hour stirring firmly/gently every 10 minutes. After that 1 hour I blended the mix for a maximum of 25 seconds, poured, drank.

6:00pm – The beverage was taken in one massive gulp. Taste was disgusting but managed with anticipation. Texture was smooth yet somewhat bulky. There was a gentle numbing effect around my entire mouth. I decide to take a walk with my dog in the winter night.

6:10pm – By now I am starting to a feel a coolness throughout my stomach but the rest of my body feels much warmer and calmer than before.

6:20 - My legs are starting to feel comfortably numb. I decide to sit for a bit and let the effects take grasp.

6:30 – The relaxation was very much present throughout my body. I felt mentally and emotionally calmer than before, yet, slightly more energized. My concentration was much more fixated. Waves of gentle relieve were coming off of the environment with graceful tones. I felt at peace with myself in knowing the trees were as well. My hearing and internal/external communication became greatly enhanced and impaired. As if I could literally listen to the sounds in my environment from a deeper, tranquil and fresh space. Sounds of trees, cars, people and my own footsteps became very fluid-like, as did my bodily awareness. I was increasingly smiling throughout all these various, unique effects, as was my heart rate. It was a very gentle and subtle increased heart rate, as if I had pleased the senses and organs. The fluid-like sensations kept my well-being at ease but were becoming much more subtle.

6:35 – I choose to smoke some herb to see what effect it as it this level of kava awareness. After inhaling half of the bowl, I start to feel the cannabis effects take over the more subtle effects of Kava. Some slight disappointment but I still felt good.

7:10 - I have come to realize that cannabis and kava are not good to mix together as much of the herb’s effects became much more prominent than the kava beverage. Though, I did feel the more sociable effects of the kava much more deeply and creatively when the herb was smoked. Somewhat intertwined.

7:45 – The Kava has now dispersed in noticeable effects but I feel relaxed from both plants. A nice outcome with some very relaxed quality sleep. The next day I felt very refreshed overall.
